*Introduction:
• A thin rectangular slab of baked clay or other material , used in
overlapping rows for covering roofs , floors , walls or other objects
such as tabletops.
* Manufacturing :
❑Raw materials :
• Sand
• White clay
• Talc
• Feldspar
• Calcite
• Dolomite
*Mixing :
• All the raw materials are crushed in a uniform size.
• Water is added and the ingredients are wet milled.
• Excess water is removed using filter pressing followed by spray drying
.
* Manufacturing process :
• Batching: different types of ceramic tiles require different type of
raw materials in different proportions.
• In batching they process the right amounts of raw materials along
with the color compositions of clay and other pigments.
• Mixing and grinding: after weighing out the raw materials they
are added into a shell which tumble around and mix everything. And
also sometimes , they add water to mix things properly.
• Spray drying: the mixed slurry is dried via rapidly rotating nozzle
.As the hot air column rises , droplets nozzle coming from nozzle dries
, which then results in powder form.
• Forming : this step varies based on which type of tile is made.
mostly it is dry pressed where the powder along with organic binder
flows from a hopper into a forming mold and then compressed by steel
plungers (high pressure and high heat). Another method is extension
which is used for making irregular shaped types. This method is more
economic.
• Drying: after the formation of tiles must be dried to remove water
content in slow rate, the tunnel driers are usually heated with gas , oil
, infrared lamps.
• Glazing : there are different methods of glazing too,
▪ Centrifugal glazing : glaze is fade through a rotating disc that flings or
throw the glaze onto the tile .
▪ Waterfall method: stream of the glaze falls onto the tile.
▪ Spray glazing : screen printing
▪ Dry glazing : glaze mixture in powdered form on wet tile surface
which melts after firing.
▪ Firing : this is the last step where the glazed tiles undergoes kiln or
roller with various temperature adjustments and fired into strong ,
finished tiles – which that goes in packing.
